What are chewy peanut butter bites?

When you look at the ingredients you’ll swear it looks similar to chocolate covered peanut butter crispy treats, but it’s more unique than that. These treats have a sweeter and softer texture to them but still, they can pack a lot of chewy goodness in every bite.

Chewy Peanut Butter Bites Ingredients

-Marshmallows: We want 20 large marshmallows so that this recipe turns out perfectly.

-Peanut butter: 1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter makes every bite protein packed and fabulous but creamy peanut butter could be used too.

-Butter: 2 tablespoons of butter will help give us a little more “nonstick” ability and help to make every bite taste richer.

-Milk: We want 2 tablespoons of milk to help us thin the mixture enough to blend more easily.

-Powdered sugar: 2 cups of powdered sugar will make every bite smooth and sweet.

-Krispie cereal: We only need 2/3 cup of crispy cereal for these treats, but it’s enough to change the texture wonderfully.

-Chocolate: We will need about 1 cup of melted chocolate to make sure that we have enough for these treats.

-Sprinkles: You can add any of your favorite sprinkles to the top if desired. It adds a fun touch of color to every treat.

How to make chewy peanut butter bites

Line a mini muffin tray with cupcake liners or spray it with nonstick cooking spray depending on your preference or what you have on hand.

In a medium sized glass bowl, combine the marshmallows, peanut butter, butter, and milk.

Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stir until mostly smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar and stir until combined.

Fold in the cereal.

Scoop about 1 rounded tablespoon into each muffin cup. I used a cookie scoop to help achieve this.

Gently press down on each mound with the back of a greased spoon to flatten.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate over the top of each peanut butter bite.

Top it off with sprinkles if you’d like.

Let cool and set.

Enjoy!

How to make this recipe using mini marshmallows

To make this recipe using mini marshmallows you’ll want about 1/2 cup of marshmallows per 5 large marshmallows which would be about 4 cups of minis (roughly 1 10ounce bag’s worth). Make sure to keep a watchful eye as they will cook much faster than the large ones do.

What kind of chocolate should I use?

That’s totally up to you! I think the easiest chocolate to use would be chocolate chips because they are so widely available. That said, you can use melters chocolate or even a melted chocolate bar so feel free to pick and choose your favorites.
